Features
Clock Divider
-
While holding down
Blue keep pressingF# until you've selected the division, based on the following values of the four leds:Division LEDs ÷ 1 ÷ 2 ÷ 3 ÷ 4
Clock Source must be MIDI or External Gate for this to have any effect
Clock Source
-
While holding down
Green keep pressingF# until you've selected the source, based on the following values of the four leds:Source LEDs Internal MIDI External Gate Random
MIDI CC
-
Hold
Green andG# -
Send the MIDI CC message from wherever
-
Release both buttons
If the CC's value is 0 (or low), several multi functions will appear to not work. Set it to the highest value to be safe
MIDI Channel
-
While holding down
Green keep pressingG# until the channel is set, based on the following values of the four leds:Channel LEDs 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 Omni (flashing)
If interpreted as binary numbers written backward, the binary number is one less than the MIDI channel it corresponds to.
Multi Output
-
While holding down
Green keep pressingA# until you've selected what you want multi to do, based on the following values of the four leds:Function LEDs Quantized Voltage Triangle LFO Random Voltage Decay Envelope -
To change the CC that can control the CV output, hold down
Green and hold downA# , then send a CC value on the selected MIDI Channel (e.g. move the mod wheel of your controller).
There is no way to view the selected CC once it has been set
Multi Output - Decay Envelope Config
-
While holding down
Blue keep pressingA# until you've selected the decay value you want:ms LEDs 60 120 240 450 900 1800 2600 7200
MIDI CC will control the height of the envelope
Multi Output - Quantized Voltage Config
-
While holding down
Blue keep pressingA# until you've selected the levels per volt (based on CC or mod wheel):Levels/volt LEDs Unquantized 48 (1⁄4 semitone) 24 (1⁄2 semitone) 16 (2⁄3 semitone) 12 (1 semitone) 8 (11⁄2 semitones) 4 (3 semitones) 2 (6 semitones)
Multi Output - Random Voltage Config
-
While holding down
Blue keep pressingA# until you've selected the number of values per clock:Voltages⁄Clock LEDs Notes 4⁄1 fastest 3⁄1 2⁄1 1⁄1 on beat 1⁄2 1⁄3 1⁄4 1⁄8 slowest
MIDI CC will control the range of the random voltages
Multi Output - Synced LFO Config
-
While holding down
Blue keep pressingA# until you've selected the # of cycles per clockCycles⁄Clock LEDs Notes 3⁄1 fastest 2⁄1 1⁄1 on beat 1⁄2 1⁄3 1⁄4 1⁄6 1⁄8 slowest
MIDI CC will control the amplitude of the triangle

Stuck Note
-
Hold
Green , then pressD to enter “hold” mode. -
While
Green is still held, pressD again to clear the stuck note
Notes and Non-Obvious Behaviors
-
MIDI CC cannot be cleared, so make sure whatever you set it to, you've sent the max value. Otherwise, the multi will appear not to work
-
Voltages within Eurorack guides (±12V) will not damage the unit
-
Most CV inputs are set to 'top out' at +5V, but can receive higher voltages
-
Stuck notes are very common
